Hello, sweetheart, it seems like we now stand on a slippery slope. Even though I can't believe it. Because you said we were soulmates forever!

This slope is a somber place where hearts can sink, disappearing in quicksand. The weight of betrayal pulling me down. In my world now full of pain, I feel like a clown.

Darling, once we danced in the sunlight's gentle rays, but now it seems we're trapped in darkness, lost amidst the wilderness, inside a never ending maze.

I never knew baby, unfortunately, I guess I was blind, that your confessed love for me had somehow changed, oh, life can be so unkind!

An aching soul, now burdened by life's cruel yoke, I yearn for love's salvation but hope seems eternally broke.

My dreams shattered, hope scattered like fallen leaves, I grieve your love lost, the pain never ceases.

In the depths of my sorrow, my depressed emotions overflow, A river of drowning tears that forces me to grow.

Though my world now appears cold and bleak.

I take comfort in the knowledge I gave you
all the love I had, the future I could not forsee. This slope may be steep, the path very unknown, But I hope life will be kind and provide me with another woman's love. So, I will never be

alone.

In the depths of my sorrow, I'll learn to cope, because I had prayed for God's strenght, grace and eternal hope.

As night surrenders to the dawn's warm embrace, I hope I'll see the beauty in another woman's beautiful face. Even though darkness lingers, and my soul hasn't mend, in my new lover's arms,

I hope to ascend.

So, my love, let me embrace this pain,
let it fuel my strength, may it not be in vain.

Through all the darkness and deepest sorrow, in my new love's arms, together we'll face a new and bright


tommorow...
